Blight Mistmantle

Daggan Hammerhold’s heavy golden hammer came crashing down onto the demon kings head, shattering armor and bone. With that one final blow, the first war of Galik’s Gultch was over and the Embercult were driven deep underground for nearly a century.

Deep below the surface of Golmarea, the ranks of the Embercult have grow stronger. As the demons dug further back to the surface world, the necromancers breathed life into the corpses of fallen enemies (as well as some allies). Entire fields of bone re-animated into an army of soldiers that feel no pain, experience no fear. Pity but a whisper of a memory.

Skorn had always thought of the undead allies as mere pawns, fodder for the initial onslaught while the demons were the true difference-makers in the battle. That all changed the day the necro-league unearthed a familiar fallen hero.

“My brother!” Skorn cackled in excitement as he inspected the remains of the fallen king. Quickly brushing away the remaining dirt and stone from the partially excavated corpses face, Skorn turned, searching for his lieutenant. “Klaxi - gather all available necromancers. Begin preparations for re-animation immediately.”

The defeat at the Gultch had set the Embercult back considerably, and Skorn had been patiently amassing his army and plotting their return to the surface. “This is the final piece we have been waiting for! With Blight back by our side, we shall have our revenge!”

It took a score of necromancers nearly a full tenday to complete the ritual. Many sacrifices were made the last day of re-animation, until finally, Blight Mistmantle rose once more...“Who awakens me?!” Blight howled as he devoured the life-force from all but a handful of the necromancers. Still regaining his strength, Blight slowly shuffled over to the battle plans laid out across the table next to Skorn. A crooked smile crept across Blights face as he reached down, scratching a mark across the map indicating Galik’s Gultch and the very spot his life was taken by Daggan Hammerhold. The cavern shook with a centuries worth of hatred as Blight turned his gaze to Skorn and bellowed a single word. “MINE!”

Once a king, now a powerful necro-lich feeding off the souls of the living, Blight Mistmantle has become a top general leading the forces of the Embercult.
